Shakers
The Shakers — a withdrawn, austere sect — often touch a change in business and a coldness growing toward a sweetheart, or renouncing old ties for new pleasures elsewhere. The dream may ask where a pull toward separateness is cooling your attachments, and whether you're being drawn to leave familiar bonds behind for something distant.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for shakers, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of seeing members of the sect called Shakers in a dream, denotes that you will change in your business, and feel coldness growing towards your sweetheart.
If you imagine you belong to them, you will unexpectedly renounce all former ties, and seek new pleasures in distant localities.
